Biased Broadcasting Corporation?

I've just heard that the BBC is refusing to transmit an appeal by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) for humanitarian aid for people living in Gaza, claiming that it would be too political - astonishing!

1300 people have been killed including 400 children, thousands are injured and medical aid is trickling through to them. These people have had little in the way of supplies since Israel and Egypt closed the borders effectively besieging them. Their infrastructure has been devastated and will cost billions to rebuild.
